May’s Furs & Ready-To-Wear, Inc., Respondents v. Aaron Bauer, as President of Retail Women’s Apparel…

Summary

The Court held that the dispute between May's Furs & Ready‑to‑Wear and Local 1125 is a labor dispute within the meaning of section 876‑a of the Civil Practice Act. It affirmed the injunction but narrowed its scope to restrain only violent or unlawful conduct and required the injunction to be limited to six months, with the possibility of extension after a hearing. The Court also held that plaintiff need not prove a prior negotiation effort because the union does not represent the employer's employees. The judgment was modified accordingly and affirmed.
